I'm no expert, but I thnik this is a fake. No adjuster screws on the dropouts and the Reynolds decal is for fork blades and in the wrong spot. Also, 120 to ship a bike without wheels?

It is a real PX10 even though the decal is the wrong type. The shipping is high because the frame is in Alsace, France.

zoltani, what a specimen! And what a price!
bikedued, that UO-8 isn't so wacky. It's had upgrades and looks like it works. The price is a bit high but not through the roof.

Here's an enticing ad from Atlanta's Craig List. It might just make me drive the 160 miles one way to scoop it up, after all its blue!! Seller even misspelled his town:
"I am saleing my bike. its a blue bike. and it ride good"
"I am saleing my bike. its a blue bike. and it ride good"

I don't know what's being sold here. a bird, a powered wheelchair or a bike motor.

I know what I'm selling ... really ... they're Ultegra 6600 Dura Ace ST-7800 shifters from Shimano's 7900 series :-D
https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:WNARL:US:1123
I sent him this message, the reply should be worth a read.
If they are Ultegra 6600 shifters then why do you describe them as Dura Ace ST-7800 in the title, not to mention show a Dura Ace box in the picture. And what is the 7900 after NR indicating, as they're clearly not 7900 series Dura Ace?
Also if they really are Ultegra 6600 you should price them accordingly. Brand new Ultegra SL shifters can be bought BIN for less than this so I'm not sure why anyone would bid on your auction, especially with the number of red-flags you're raising with your ambiguous description.

Dura Ace of that generation also ISN'T the lightest, as he says.
That was reserved for SRAM Red, followed by Campy Record (AFAIK)
